.... a few posts on a forum and suddenly we're the majority???

.... Seriously??

Those post were just a few excited fans.

EDIT: If some DECENT and WELL DONE analysis comes up and proves that even 1/5th of the first week's sales are trade ups, I will be shocked...

i really don't get why people buy more than 1 of the same console like seriously...

Yeah, I've never gotten that either. I'd only get another one to replace a defective one. Yeah, I'd like my money to go to something else other than redundancy.

Well, if you are paranoid and fear your console could cheat, you could network 2N+1 of them to be able to detect and correct up to N byzantine errors

Less than 10% PC users buy significantly more than average power components, I'd be shocked if more than that share of console owners bought a 2nd console unless the first broke out of warranty...
Maybe it's a possibility in the richest and most consumeristic towns of Japan, USA and EU, but not globally...

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
